Hip-Hop in the Heartland

Hosted by the UW-Madison’s Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives in partnership with Urban Word NYC, the annual week-long training offers educators and community leaders the opportunity to learn the best practices in hip-hop and spoken-word pedagogy. The institute brings together the leading educators, professors, emcees and activists currently using spoken word and hip-hop as relevant, dynamic and necessary educational tools to engage students in multi-disciplinary learning.
